Dear Aoir-members,
I was wondering if anyone on this list is familiar with using an Iphone
with a voice-recorder application for recording face-to-face interviews.
My intention is to use a mobile phone to record conversations with
urban/ migrant youth about online identity practices. However, being
aware of impression management and the impact of all sorts of props on
the interview process, a traditional recording device might appear
intimidating and/or too formal, and as the quality of recording
opportunities on mobile phones increases, I was hoping to learn about
possible earlier experiences of others on the list taking similar
approaches?
Kind regards,
Koen Leurs
